Who does this guy think he is

As I'm sitting here flipping back and forth to the coverage of the Memorial for Michal Jackson, a friend of mine sent me a video from Congressman Peter King.

I refuse to post it here, but he basically says Michael did some singin' and dancin' and wonders what we are glorifying him for. Now, before the conservatives come flying at me, I better say that he does bring up some good points, such as firemen, solidoers and all not getting the respect they deserve and this MJ coverage has gone too far, but that's not that has my ire raised.

This guy seems to be stuck on the dark side of Michael's life. A part that, in all honesty, seems to only be brought up (and I hate to make this political) by conservatives.

Everyone has a dark side. Look at the recently murdered Steve McNair. He was the poster child for what an NFL qb should be, but his final days have been mired with stuff that you would never have thought him capable of.

Elvis, Marilyn, Mozart, JFK...the list goes on. Yes, they were great people, but they also had this dark side to them. Do we remember them for that, or their accomplishments?

MJ's resume and charity work dwarf his alleged crime. Is it so wrong to want to remember his life? No.

Now, I will say, I am getting a bit tired of all this coverage. I seriously think they're just making up stuff now. After today, they need put it to rest, unless something big happens like he rises out of the ground or something.

lol if he did that, then he better sing "Thriller" hahaha

Politicalism?

For the longest time in this country we have had to deal with racism and sexism. Neither of which have gone away, no matter how much we say they have. There are still those that are swtuck in ther ways and have passed down their closed mindedness to their children.

Well, this afternoon, I was wathing a rerun of one of those pundits on one of those news networks. He said that conservatives are a minority and liberals are taking over the country or something like that.

I've been tryingto keep up with politics involiving the upcoming Preseditial race this year, because its important (and so I can actually understand political jokes...lol) I've noticed that liberals and conservatives are at each others throats the way blacks and whites were before the Civil rights movement.

It's quite sad! Just because a person has different views than another person on a certain issue, they shoukd not be treated like they have the Black Plague or something. This is a free country and all, but I seriosuly doubt that our forefathers had in mind us ready to go into an all out war over our political beliefs.

No wonder both parties are in disarray 99% of the time. They're too busy fighting the other. Not to mention the pundits fueling the fire with their unnecessary two cents and blaming of the media.

I guess instead of racism or sexism, you can call it politicalism!
